The Culturebagh x G5A is a collaboration that brings exciting programming, presented in the form of lectures, panel discussions, and masterclasses. Our aim is to demystify, broaden, and deepen understanding around the visual arts ecosystem.
We begin the series with a session on Riten Mozumdar, starting with a workshop on block printmaking by Mala and Pradeep Sinha, Founders of BODHI, Vadodara. This is followed by a symposium on Riten Mozumdar’s life and times, with presentations by Nancy Adajania, Mayank Mansingh Kaul, and Ushmita Sahu.
